I want to attach neodymium magnets to my bicycle kickstand so my presence will be sensed by the underground sensors that control some traffic lights.
I intend to use a few ring magnets, held in place near the bottom of the kickstand with cable ties. These are plate magnets with the poles at the flat surfaces.
What is the best way to orient the magnets?
It would be nice if they could work most of the time with the stand up. If I encounter a difficult sensor, I would swing the kickstand down to bring the magnets closer to the sensor.
